Ah... Karla, I - I apologize for my lateness in this. my kingly duties seem to have me quite distracted lately... [/ clears throat ] I, err - understand that yesterday was siblings day? I want to show my appreciation for us trying to reconnect with one another. Please. Take this novel I picked out for you as a token of my brotherly love. I enjoyed it myself, so I thought perhaps you would take some similar sentiment.
Karla had no inkling as to why she had been called to the palace that day, but when he finally came into the study they normally met in all was made clear. It had indeed been siblings day yesterday, but to think he remembered and had a gift prepared for her. “Thank you Erston. I’m sorry to say I haven’t anything for you, but I’ll put together something suitable.”
Immediately Karla flipped through the book and arched a brow at the contents. So, her brother enjoyed man on man romances? Interesting…
“Thank you.” She said again, trying to avoid the awkwardness of the well-meaning gift.
